Integrate with anything using Zapier

Do you have any idea how much cool stuff you can do with your photos, videos, and Zapier.com?

Zapier is a powerful automation platform that connects thousands of apps together, allowing you to create automated workflows (called "Zaps") between them. With ZenTransfer's Zapier integration, you can automatically trigger actions in other apps when photos or videos are uploaded to ZenTransfer. For example, you could automatically post new photos to social media, back them up to cloud storage, or notify team members in Slack.

How to use the Zapier integration

We're currently waiting for approvals from Zapier before we are published in their catalog/marketplace. You will therefore not find us in the Zapier lists until you have accepted an invitation to the ZenTransfer integration.

How to add ZenTransfer to Zapier:

  • Enable Zapier integration in Settings.
  • You will see a Zapier Key that is required for authentication (and copy buttons so you can easily transfer them).
  • Click the button 'Create Integration on Zapier.com'
  • You will be taken to zapier.com
  • Accept the invite, and you can now build zap's that react to events in ZenTransfer.
